because its not. The Wii was sold out at this phase, while unsold Wii Us are piling up.

Nintendo has officially said that they overstocked Basic WiiUs and didn't supply enough Premium packs (demand miscalculation). People that couldn't get a Premium in most cases didn't get the Basic, explanation why did they pile up.

Now that the supply of Premiums is back to normal, there are normal sales, but there's still a Basic pack overstock due to the thing I first said.

Those are official words from Nintendo themselves.

Back to normal? How does one define normal for a brand new product?

Nintendo just predicted they will sell less than a million units in the next 3 months. That is definitely not the pace that the Wii sold.

This is spot-on. Nintendo misjudged, on the presumption that casual gamers would flock to the entry level Wii U. They'll be correcting that.

Seriously, those of you on the fence, and even those haters who have never even tried it, I recommend going to a store and trying out a demo unit for a little bit. That is what sold it for me. The tablet controller is a little odd at first, but it's easy to get used to. The two analog sticks being at the top is oddly excellent. Visuals shouldn't be a selling point. All that fun stuff.

I was hesitant at first, but after spending a half hour at LOCAL GAME STORE and trying out their demo unit, I was hooked. Got mine shortly before Christmas, haven't regretted it. I think the problem haters have is that they think there's no room in the world for the Wii U and whatever Microsoft and Sony are going to put out when that's simply not true. I don't know, I just hate blind hate.

EXACTLY! This man has the right idea. I am over 30 years old and I was stuck at the Walmarts demo booth for about an hour playing the new Mario. It is simply fantastic and I will be getting one as soon as the funds permit and that game.

Try it first and more importantly....HAVE AN OPEN MIND ABOUT IT.

I don't have a Wii U just yet, but I do have that Mario game. My wife got it as a freebie door buster on Black Friday. Not bad, I'd say!
